Did it with exactly a second to spare. Thank goodness I forgot Burkina Faso, because I scrolled down frantically to find the missing one and it was right at the top. If it was Zambia I would have failed.

Done in 3 minutes and 10 seconds. For clarification, there was 1:50 left on the clock when I finished. Between this, the one with the empty map, the one with no map and no textboxes, and the regular quiz, this is my fastest time out of the four. my other times were 3:21, 3:30, and 3:48.

I couldvé sworn I took this 50 times! Turns out it was only 15. (As if that's any better.) After decreasing the "repeat" trigger in my keyboard settings, I was able to get it the first try!

Before, I just kept making errors because I thought the key had already registered, and would have to go back and delete entire words.

Make sure your keyboard settings are optimized for you!!

It would be cool if there was a public posting of accepted abbreviations. I know that "Congo" works instead of the full name of both countries; "CAR" works; "USA" & "UK"; as well as "UAE".
